The production of silk has taken place for more than 3,500 years.Although Chinese people originated the practice of silk harvesting in Eastern Asia, the Japanese got hold of silkworm eggs and began the production of silk.So Japanese had the opportunity of using silk canvases for artistic means.The largest influence for Japanese silk painting from its origin was Buddhism.It was with Buddhism that Japan originated its cultural and artistic identity.One common theme among early Japanese silk paintings was about historical events or heroes.The other common theme in Japanese art is that many Japanese paintings describe nature.Some common natural elements in Japanese silk paintings are birds, flowers, wildlife, mountains, trees and bamboo.

　　Until the 14th century, the Japanese used a brush rather than a pen for writing, to which their perfected skill in painting can be owed.Japanese artists have been using fine strokes (笔画) and accurate details to compose complex paintings.Another common practice in early Japanese art is the incorporation of written poetry into art to help convey the message of the painting.
